VISION

THE WORLD A.I. FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS ON APRIL 21 & 22, 2026

and this time, we're taking you far away!

WAiFF 2026 envisions a new era of cinema where artificial intelligence becomes a creative partner, not a shortcut. A global festival connecting cultures, platforms, and generations, celebrating bold storytelling, hybrid filmmaking, and emerging voices. From short-form to feature films, we explore how A.I. transforms imagination into cinematic art.

THE

WAIFF

New partnerships, new destinations, and a truly global vision.

AI-powered cinema is crossing borders, connecting cultures, and reshaping how stories are told. The journey has only just begun.

THE FUTURE IN MOTION

As the industry matures and audiences drift, we go where new stories already thrive – online, global, fast-moving, and fearless. WAIFF brings together filmmakers, producers, influencers, A.I. artists, and visionaries from every horizon to explore, debate, and create a new language of cinema.

THE A.I. GENERATION

A.I. gives one person the power of an entire studio: to write, direct, shoot, edit, compose, and distribute. What once required massive infrastructure now fits into a single creative mind. Influencers become filmmakers. Creators become authors. Not to produce disposable content — but to create cinematic works that matter.

the
crossing

WAIFF stands at the intersection of worlds: between social media and cinema, video games and literature, short-form and long-form storytelling, popular culture and contemporary art. We do not choose between them — we connect them. Because this is where tomorrow’s cinema is being invented.
